My sons LOVE Monster Trucks - and we've even seen them "IN REAL LIFE" twice... but when it comes to making a digital layout of our "Monster Experiences," I found there just wasn't much available.... So I made my own kit! :)

This kit is FULL of some great papers and elements - the perfect set of stuff for your little "monster!" And it features my original "shaggy digital tear bears" as the drivers for the trucks!

That's 34 pieces in all!All items are full-size and created at 300 .dpi.Additional Credits to The Scrappin Cop for her CU Screw Head and Krako Textures. This kit is ON SALE for the month of February!You can purchase this for just $2.99 at the MagsGraphics Store or at Moo Two Designs. Please share your layouts with me - I LOVE to see what people have done with my creations!! :)

I actually made these a few years ago but rediscovered them just this week! They print out really nice if you put two on an 8.5"x11" sheet of horizontal cardstock (two images side-by-side along the bottom). Then print it out and cut apart the two images. If you fold each card, you will have two invitation-sized Valentine cards to write in and send! Since I did not create the images myself (just assembled various graphics I've snagged into the card fronts), this is a PERSONAL USE only freebie. I do not hold the copyright on these images to release them commercially.

Use if you can and enjoy!Comments left on this blog are treasured and most appreciated!Thanks for stopping by!
